Cyberpunk 2077 Will Receive Studio Trigger Anime Adaptation

In a surprise announcement, CD Projekt RED’s ambitious sci-fi game Cyberpunk 2077 will be getting an anime adaptation by Studio Trigger to premiere on Netflix.

The 10-episode anime will follow a street urchin becoming an edgerunner, a special mercenary that undertakes difficult and dangerous jobs on the futuristic cyberpunk city streets.

An overview of the newly announced anime from a CD Projekt RED press release, together with an announcement video:

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners tells a standalone, 10-episode story about a street kid trying to survive in a technology and body modification-obsessed city of the future. Having everything to lose, he chooses to stay alive by becoming an edgerunner—a mercenary outlaw also known as a cyberpunk.

CD Projekt RED, the company behind the Cyberpunk 2077 video game, is producing the series, with a creative team formed of talent from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and Cyberpunk 2077. The team at CD Projekt RED has been working on this new series since 2018.

Acclaimed Japan-based animation company, Studio Trigger, will serve as the animation studio on the series and bring the world of Cyberpunk to life with their signature, vibrant style. Hiroyuki Imaishi (Gurren LagannKill la KillPromare) will direct the series along with assistant director Masahiko Otsuka (Gurren LagannPromare), creative director Hiromi Wakabayashi (Kill la Kill), character designers Yoh Yoshinari (Little Witch AcademiaBNA: Brand New Animal) and Yuto Kaneko (Little Witch Academia), and the adapted screenplay by Yoshiki Usa (SSSS.GRIDMANPromare) and Masahiko Otsuka (Gurren LagannKill la KillPromare).

The original score will be composed by Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill series).

Cyberpunk 2077 will now release on November 19th for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

The Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners anime will premiere on Netflix sometime in 2022.
